Like many Republicans and Democrats in the Congress, I support
common-sense reforms to end abuses in our campaign finance
system. The reforms passed today, while flawed in some
areas, still improve the current system overall, and I will sign them
into law.

The legislation makes some important progress on the timeliness of
disclosure, individual contribution limits, and banning soft money from
corporations and labor unions, but it does present some legitimate
constitutional questions. I continue to believe the best
reform is full and timely disclosure of campaign contributions.
